Carnival is very good about food allergies, you just let your TA know what they are and She/he should inform Carnival . I have travelled twice with Carnival and once with Princess and had no problems. Hope you have fun.

Wow, 8 epi pens. Thats alot, but could be a life saver. Would it be easier to buy vials of epi and some syringes. And have one of the people who is traveling with you, as well yourself how to administer it. hmmm .

Personnally, I wouldn't feel any safer with 8 Epipens... at one point, you really do need some medical attention and you're supposed to get there as fast as possible, Epipens only will not keep me alive for too long!!!!!!

Sorry for the lengthy delay in respoding. Yes the cruise ships have basically an ER and Surgery bay on board. There were several nurses and a couple of doctors.

The reason for the 8 epi's I believe was more for leaving with the staff if your child participated in programs as our daughter enrolled in several programs (at her request). The ship itself had additional epi that could be administered in sick bay..

In my daughter's group I think there were only 3 kids who didn't have a food allergy or intolerance of some sort so it was pretty much a non-issue. At first I thought they had singled all the food allergy kids and out and was ticked but nope. Perhaps we all singled the Disney Cruise Line out. I also didn't observe any nuts on board however dairy and shellfish were present.

Our experience was that the staff didn't hesitate to run and grab us a box/bottle/carton so we could read the ingredients and Disney had tried to eliminate nut products from their menu.
